I walked into my closet, looking for a comfortable dress to wear that would also be fancy enough for mothers book meeting. I saw a little piece of blue sticking out behind another dress, I walked over to it and saw a beautiful dress, one I hadn't seen before.
"Perhaps one of the maids sewers this and put it in my closet without telling me"
The color was blue like the sky on a sunny day. It had three quarter lengths sleeves and no puffs. Lace lined the end of the sleeves and the neckline of the dress. It was sinched in at the waist and flowed down all the way to the ground. On the bottom of the dress there was an embroidery of flowers and the back laced up.
I brought it out into my room, laid it on my bed and called for Meredith. She walked into my room saying,"yes dear?"
"Can you help me out this dress on?" I asked while pointing to the newly discovered dress.
"Oh, of course! It will look stunning on you!" She walked over to me and began unbuttoning the back of the dress I was wearing. I lifted my arms, making a cross with my body. Meredith always said lifting my arms made it easier for her.
She untucked the last button and she pulled the dress over my head and the next one flew on. I pulled it over my arms and onto my shoulders as she began tying the back. She pulled the strings so hard and tight that I jerked every time she did. Once she got to the top I could barely breath, but that's how all my dresses made me feel. She tied a bow, patted my back and said," there you go darling. Now go look at yourself in the mirror. I skipped over to the mirror that was passed down to me from elder cousin. I looked at the reflection staring back at me and the dress was absolutely beautiful. It fit me perfectly and I loved it. Meredith walked over to me,"wow...that is so pretty!! Do you know who made it?"
"I don't know... I found it in the back of my closet, but I love it." I said while spinning around.
"I think Bertha may have made." Meredith said while picking out a pair of shoes for me to wear.
"Oh, yes, she most likely made it before leaving."
I sat down on my bed as Meredith helped me put my shoes on.
